Go back to the basics to perfect your pizza-making skills by learning how to create high-quality pizza entirely from scratch. You will learn history, science, and the how-to of pizza making from Joe Hunter, chef and co-owner of Pizza Brain, an award-winning pizza restaurant and museum based in Philadelphia. Joe will lead each participant in making their own pizza dough, tomato-based sauce, and mozzarella cheese. We will then construct our own pizzas and cook them on site and you will leave
with a fresh dough, sauce, and cheese to create your own pizza at home! Bring all of your questions as Joe is an expert in the field of pizza. This is great class for adults or for families with children ages ten and up.
